casual kilt pleated to stripe?

[David Thornton]

I think I'm getting all of this, bear with me I'm a beginner.

I started all this four months ago & finally decided on a full blown tank and I'm VERY glad to have it. But, I won't wear it every day, any more than I would wear a pair of $600 slacks ( I assume there are some) every day. So I'm back on my original search, finding a kilt (2,3 who knows) that will look good and can be worn every day and I can afford (still haven't told the converted cost to the keeper of all things financial).

SWK heavy got great reviews, but I am too short to wear one. Ebay casuals are out. So I thought a nice 4-5 yrd casual, custom. I think you guys, based on your own experience, are telling me that I'm probably OK.?

Any and all suggestions will be appreciated. Seems I learn (or at least read) something new every day.

I'm making a 4 yard poly/viscose MacMillan kilt pleated to the stripe that is gorgeous!

Reminds me of a joke.

A young man had just graduated from a university with an MBA degree and went out into the big world to find his first job using his Business degree.

For the job search, he bought an expensive suit, and a pair of $300.00 Guicci shoes.

After he got a job, he continued to wear the Guicci shoes to work every day. After about three weeks, the shoes started to fall apart. So the young man went back to the Guicci store.

There he saw the salesman who sold him the shoes and started complaining about the lack of durability.

Salesman: "And you wore these shoes every day?"
Young man: "Yes! And in three weeks they wore out!"
Salesman: "Sir! These are $300.00 Guicci's! You don't wear them every day!"

I guess I know what you mean, but I wear my $150.00 PK daily.

What I meant was that I don't understand why some kilt makers say that they cannot pleat a 4-yard kilt to the stripe, when I always pleat my 4-yard kilts to the stripe with no problem.

I'm hoping to grab some MacLachlan or MacEwen tartan soon, enough for a 4-yarder pleated to the stripe. At least I think I'll be able to do it... we'll see how she turns out.
